Why Keeping Your Luggage in the Hotel Bathtub is a Smart Travel Tip

Even if you’re not worried about bedbugs, there’s a lot of comfort in knowing your luggage is in a clean and safe place. Let’s be honest, hotel rooms don’t always get the deep cleaning they need. The floors and carpets might look okay, but think about all the shoes, bags, and spills they’ve seen. The last thing you want is for your suitcase to pick up that dirt, especially if you plan to put it on the bed later.

The bathroom, and especially the tub, is usually one of the cleanest spots in the room. Housekeeping staff almost always scrub and sanitize it between guests. This makes it a much better option than a carpet that could be holding dirt, bacteria, or old food crumbs. By using the tub, you’re adding an extra layer of protection for your belongings from any hidden messes.
